LEGO Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle

As LEGO continues to expand its collections, the LEGO Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle is sure to be one of the top gifts this holiday season. Join Jay and the Lightning Dragon as they try to rescue Sensei Wu and take back the lightning nunchucks from Frakjaw and Kruncha. Beware of Frakjaw and Kruncha’s helicopter’s crunching jaws and flick missiles!

This set comes complete with four characters: Sensei Wu, Jay, Frakjaw, and Kruncha, which allows for tons of entertainment and battling between the two sides. And don’t forget about the spinner, which allows you to do battle in Spinjitzu. As far as weapons go, this set has two golden spears, two large spears, a silver mace, a sword, a golden blade, a staff, and lightning nunchucks.

For your or your child’s building pleasure, the set includes 645 pieces to build the helicopter and Lightning Dragon.  The Lightning Dragon is the largest dragon of the four Ninjago dragons, having an over 17-inch wingspan and being 19 inches long. It’s also created with cool colors: blues, silver, and yellow. Its jaw’s can snap closed around its enemy and can even spit lethal lightning balls from its mouth! Pose the dragon in a variety of configurations, moving its wings, limbs, and tail. This dragon is not one to be messed with.

The helicopter also has a variety of cool tricks. Put Kruncha in to the cockpit to allow him to fly around and avoid the Lightning Dragon. Or go on the attack with its jaws that crunch away its attackers or shoot missiles at all who are trying to rescue Sensei Wu. It’s fully equipped with a claw that can be lowered to pick things up on the ground and a tail rotor ready to slice away anything in its way.

The manufacturer’s recommended age is 8 to 14 years old probably for the difficulty of building the Lightning Dragon and helicopter. You can find this set and others like it online. Expect to pay around $79.99 for this set—as it comes with so many pieces and characters. A good deal compared with many of the smaller sets. You can also look for other sets that include other characters and spinners.
